    The Call to Holy Living

    God has made a one-sided covenant with Abram. It depends only on Him.

God will accomplish His plan and even carries His promise over to Hagar’s descendants even though He is…

    The Parable of the Talents

    Jesus’s disciples asked Him when the Temple would be destroyed. Jesus responded by giving them the signs in Matthew 24. Now, Jesus is telling two parables that depict the kingdom of heaven.

    In My Impatience, God is Faithful

    God has proven His faithfulness to Abram, even go so far as to legally commit Himself to His promise according to Abram’s covenant-making tradition. His promise depends only on Him.

    The Reassurance of God

    God made Abram a promise. Abram believed God and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Before the Law is given, righteousness is established by grace through faith.

  • How to be Righteous Before God

    How to be Righteous Before God

    Melchizedek, the prophet/priest/king of Salem (later Jerusalem), represents the order of faith that transcends the Law.

It was always about God’s faithfulness. Abram is blessed…

    Genesis, the story of beginnings, revolves around several key events leading up to the founding of Israel as a people with a national identity.  Even though I have so far taken 19 parts to walk through Genesis form 1:1 so far, the story is simple.
